DVD Talk review of 'The Ruins - Unrated'
I read Brian Orndorf's DVD review of The Ruins - Unrated at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=33842 and...i'm just a little confused. there is only one movie cut and that is the Unrated release which has a new ending? or is it the theatrical ending with just UR bits in the movie itself and then you get a new ending as the extra? thanks for clarification Brian...

Confused? Tell me about it...
Spoiler:
The disc I reviewed was only the unrated cut. The theatrical ending was presented as a deleted scene.
Edit: the unrated cut has a few new scene additions, but nothing important. The new gore footage is quite graphic.

It's not unheard of; the Unrated version of The Descent had the original UK ending, as opposed to the shorter US theatrical ending (and an extra on the DVD explaining the differences in the endings and reasons for the change).

It's a terrible (not to mention nonsensical) place for the film to stop; the real UK ending is much better.

I love horror, and gore rarely bothers me, but that was too brutal to watch and completely unnecessary to show.
